History
This section is about the history of Gielinor given by the Dragonwilds:Lore Scraps. For the full history of the world, click Template:RSL.
Creation
Gielinor was created by the Template:RSL. The Elder Gods prepared to sleep while their eggs consumed the anima throughout Gielinor. However, they discovered wild Dragonwilds:anima, which they preferred to vent out into Gielinor instead.Template:CiteVideo This caused an event known as the anima twist, a unique phenomena to Ashenfall that formed wild anima across the continent. This phenomena not only effected the land, but the creatures living within it. Afterwards, the Elder gods went to sleep.
After Gielinor was created, the Template:RSL, a race of dragon-like creatures, discovered Gielinor after escaping Template:RSL, which involved wiping out all non-perfect creations by the Elder Gods. The Dragonkin were the first off-world creatures to visit Gielinor to settle down. However, Template:RSL, an ambitious Dragonkin, brought a curse to the entire race after his actions. This led to many of the Dragonkin going into hiding or experimenting to escape the curse.
First Age
Centuries later, Dragonwilds:Guthix, the god of balance, found Gielinor after travelling through the cosmos. Impressed by its beauty, he invited races that he had deemed worthy to live on Gielinor. After shaping the plane and ensuring those he brought with him lived in harmonic balance, he continued to explore the world, taking some followers with him.
Eventually, Ashenfall was found, and there Guthix discovered that the anima was different from the rest of the world. It was wild and unique; it would leak vents of elements and turn stones into magical rocks. Experimenting on these stones and on the magic of the area using the elder artefact, the Template:RSL, Guthix created Dragonwilds:runes: a means for certain mortals to use magic, as most that he brought with him were unable to use magic on their own.
Guthix left to spread this magic across the world, but while he left his followers on Ashenfall, an event called the Dragonwilds:Schism unfolded. Humans started killing the Dragonwilds:Amalgamated humans, believing them to be impure and wrong. Witnessing the horror after returning to the continent, Guthix gathered those who did not take part in the murders and left behind the ones that did, along with the Dragonwilds:Wild Knights, who had sworn an oath to protect the wild and the people of Ashenfall. Guthix placed a veil over the continent, hoping that it would remain hidden from the outside world.
Eventually, a group of five Dragonkin (Dragonwilds:Avisk, Dragonwilds:Brakka, Dragonwilds:Lacrussa, Dragonwilds:Rasthin, and Dragonwilds:Viika), also known as the Dragonwilds:Cabal, moved to Ashenfall.Template:CiteVideo
Second to Sixth Age
More gods arrived on Gielinor, as well as other races such as Template:RSL, dwarves, goblins, and more.
During the Dragonwilds:Third Age the Template:RSL raged in almost every corner of Gielinor, with only a few continents safe. Refugees would scatter, looking for a safe place, with Ashenfall being one of them. Ashenfall would eventually have its own conflict, the Dragonwilds:Human-Garou War and eventually the Dragonwilds:Dragon Rebellion. After the Dragon Rebellion, Ashenfall was ruled by the Dragons, with Dragonwilds:Kuldra as their queen. Ashenfall then remained hidden from the world, until the Dragonwilds:Sixth Age, where the veil finally disappeared, and Ashenfall became known to the world once more.
